Best Answer

Kuwait, to Iraq's southwest, was conquered by Iraq in 1990.

Kuwait was invaded in 1990 by Iraq who claimed they had been stealing oil by drilling diagonally under the ground and also probably because Iraq did not want to repay the large amount of money they had borrowed from the Kuwaitis during the Iran-Iraq war.

The US and a coalition of other nations then retaliated against Iraq in what is commonly referred to as the Gulf War.
